Xaverian Orange

Barney Francis has joined Ruinous Recollections. Barney will present proposals for transcriptions in the city drawing on the memory, literature and presence of Anthony Burgess. Burgess grew up and studied at Xaverian College in Manchester, before leaving the city to fight in WW2. Barney's art will work dystopian palimpsests of the city, mixing the sites of Burgess' childhood with the images of his later writings.
